So you vote "no". What exactly are you going to ask the 3 unions to go back and negotiate?
No change from where we are now? The words "sand" and "head in the" come to mind.
I will be voting no because it gives me the best possible chance of a better outcome.
And that outcome would be??
People need to really clear about the mandate they will be giving to the unions. Are there really enough negatives here to go on strike over? Remember to be realistic about the assumptions you make in terms of future rises.
I do, however, know that if we vote yes our pension is DEFINITELY screwed.
This doesn't sound like someone who has been to a briefing. Voting "yes" is what actually safeguards what you have already and will continue to do so. You're right it is a simple choice and it is a "Yes".
